@ikv-BURNER SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 709,803,dated September 23, 1902.

Application filed .Tune 6, 1901.

To all whom, it rita/y concern:

Be it known that I, .Inns FEDER SrMoNsEN, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Oakland, in the county ot' Alameda and State ofOalifornia,have invented certain new and useful Improvements inOil-Burners; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and eX-act description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled inthe art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

The invention relates to oil-burners more especially designed forburning crude or the lower grades of oil.

The object of the invention is to provide a burner of this characterwhich shall be simple of construction, durable in use, comparativelyinexpensive of production, and efficient in action.

l/Vith this and other objects in view the invention consists of certainnovel features of construction, combination, and arrangement of parts,which will be hereinafter more fully described, and particularly pointedout in the appended claim.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a vertical sectional viewthrough a fire-box, grate, and burner; and Fig. 2 is a modilied form ofthe invention,

In the drawings, l denotes the fire-box of a cooking or heating stove,furnace, or any other heat-generator.

2 denotes a burner which Aconsists of a shell, preferably cylindrical inform and closed at both ends. The lower end of the shell has adownwardly-projecting nipple 3, which is formed with an annular row ofminute perforations 4.

5 denotes the oil-supply pipe, which may extend down from the top of theshell 2, as shown in Fig. l, or up from the nipple, as shown in Fig. 2,and when arranged as shown in Fig. l is provided at its lower end with adisk 6 and immediately above thisdisk with discharge-apertures 7, whichallow the oil to flow upon-and be spread over the disk.. Whenconstructed as shown in Fig. 2, the end of theV pipe projects upwardlythrough the disk and allows the oil to discharge directly thereuponthrough the open end of said pipe.

Suitable controlling-cocks 8 may be provided.

The crude oil passes through the pipe 5 and Serial No. 63,423. (Nomodel.)

is discharged upon the disk 6, where it spreads into a fine sheet andfalls off the edge of said disk. The shell being entirely inclosed andbeing arranged in the fire-box is naturally heated to a high degree oftemperature, and the confined air in said shell tends to vaporize theoil as it spreads upon the disk and precipitates from said disk to thelower end of the shell upon the ledge or shoulder 91. The gas thuscreated will escape immediately through the minute perforations 4, whilethe oil will be subjected to further heat upon the ledge 9, which beingnearer the flame will gasify or vaporize it and the gas thus generatedbe allowed to escape through the openings 4 and be consumed.

From the foregoing description, taken in connection with theaccompanying drawings, the construction, mode of operation, andadvantages'of my invention will be readily uuderstood without requiringa more extended explanation.

Various changes in the form, proportion, and details of construction maybe made within the scope of the invention without departing from thespirit or sacrificing any of Athe advantages thereof.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secureby Letters Patent, is-

In an oil-burner, the combination with the shell having a free andunobstructed inner surrounding vertical wall, ailat ledge secured to andsurrounding the bottom of the shell having a depending perforatednipple, a central opening in the ledge in communication with the nipple,of an oil-pipe having a supply-opening, said pipe projecting centrallywithin the shell and provided on its free end with a disk arranged outof contact with the wall of the shell and made of a diameter larger thanthe opening in the ledge so as to permit of the oil from said disk toHow therefrom to said ledge, substantially as specified.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of twosubscribing witnesses.
